Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Answering a question from Mojo31 from the previous, now-locked Addiction:

Of course I would. I even tried to teach her how to drive stick but she developed some physical complications that make the clutch and shifter difficult for her.

The heat is back.

Did everyone hear, some suspect that Hawaii’s climate is changing. Paradise lost?

I wouldn’t mind if it shifted to NY.

Good deed for the day done. Got a box of mochi from a high freezer shelf for an elderly lady. She said she had been looking around for 10 min. an employee to help her.
